High Production

Fuel cell technology is using the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen to water in order to produce electricity and heat. It promises a high electrical efficiency even in small devices, which can be installed close to the consumer. This approach seems to be an impressive idea to contribute to a viable future energy supply under the restrictions of climate change policy. Major reasons currently hampering the diffusion of such technology for home energy supply in Germany are analyzed in this chapter. The barriers revealed include high production costs as well as economic and legal obstacles for installing the devices so that they can be operated in competition to central power plants and beside others in tenancies.

AbstractOne of the peculiar aspects of living systems is the production and conservation of energy. This aspect is provided by specialized organelles, such as the mitochondria and chloroplasts, in developed living organisms. In primordial systems lacking specialized enzymatic complexes the energy supply was probably bound to the generation and maintenance of an asymmetric distribution of charged molecules in compartmentalized systems. On the basis of experimental evidence, we suggest that lipophilic quinones were involved in the generation of this asymmetrical distribution of charges through vectorial redox reactions across lipid membranes.
